________________________________
“My son, when you come to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for trials. Be sincere of heart and steadfast, undisturbed in time of adversity. Cling to him, forsake him not; thus will your future be great. Accept whatever befalls you, in crushing misfortune be patient; For in fire gold is tested, and worthy men in the crucible of humiliation. Trust God and he will help you; make straight your ways and hope in him.”
(Sirach 2; 1–6)
A lifetime of prayer, bearing the weight of 80 years, right down to the very last breath of life. Prayer was her example and her legacy, tested in fire, purified; the pillar of support that held her life aloft. I’ve heard the theory that the prayer of a few great souls in every generation through time have kept us all afloat, and God’s righteous anger held at bay. I believe my mother was one such soul.
May there always be such souls, praying in the face of the fires that test us in this pilgrimage till we are welcomed home again in the loving arms of our Lord. May you be such a soul.
